This volume is a collection of papers originally delivered by an international group of researchers at a conference organized in April 2000 by Dr. F. J. Brüggemeier and Dr. Wolfgang Schenkluhn. The World in the Year 1000 is organized in four thematic sections covering five world regions: Europe, the Islamic world, India, China, and Mesoamerica. All contributions in this volume are original works by many of today's leading scholars. Unlike most works on pre-modern world history, which follow a thesis over time, this approach suggests that fruitful avenues for comparative work become possible by focusing on a single point in time.
James Heitzman holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of Pennsylvania. He is Associate Professor in the Department of History, Georgia State University, Atlanta. His fields of interest include the history of South Asia, urbanization, science and technology. Wolfgang Schenkluhn is Professor of Medieval Art History at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany. His fields of research include medieval art and architecture.
